Windsor pair charged in meat thefts

A Windsor man and woman have been charged with a series of meat thefts from a Chatham-Kent trucking company.

Chatham-Kent police say they concluded a three-month investigation into three separate break and enters in which large quantities of meat were stolen from a local trucking company.

Police said all three incidents that occurred between July 19 and Sept. 11 were connected.

With the help of the Windsor Police Services’ target base unit, Chatham-Kent police said they located and arrested Nicholas Pomainville, 31, and Jennifer Watson, 31, both of Windsor, on Friday.

Pomainville faces three counts of break and enter and theft, two counts of possession of stolen property over $1,000, one count of possession under $1,000, one count of mischief under $5000, and three counts of breach of probation.

Watson faces one count of break and enter and theft and one count of possession under $1,000.

The two have been released on conditions and will appear before in court at a future date.
